  • Timeline is taking you back to 1979. We're going to jump into our decoupage time machine for a nostalgic trip back to '79. 1979 would be the last hurrah of the Seventies where we would see the decade setting the stage for the 1980s. From the rise of Reagan to the popularity of The Village People, 1979 would end on a cliffhanger. So sit back, grab yourself a Lite Beer and enjoy Timeline 1979

    The 70's was the most important decade of my life! Graduated from High School '71, graduated college '75, got my first teaching job in '77, got married in '78, and had my son in '79!!

      I was born in 1960, so for me the most important decade was the 80s, but the 70s contain the bulk of my growing-up memories. Taken together, the 70s and 80s are "where I'm from", and everything from the 90s on is like some lesser alternate world, just based on perspective. I imagine my parents' generation felt the same about their youthful decades, just as today's youth will feel the same in another 40 years about now.

And the new world order was showing signs already of not giving up to the hype. A material focus got stronger. So while not shit by any means, I liked the 90s less than the 80s. But again, that's because I was born in 1960.

    I was born Nov 1970 so I was a young child in the 70s. I never realized how turbulent that decade was since I was just a kid and no internet back then. I spent my days playing outside, riding my big wheel around the block, playing with army action figures in the sand, playing with toy guns ( cap guns and dart guns were some of my favorites ) . I remember riding in the back of pick up trucks and used to think that was so fun, nobody was worried about safety back then. Also remember riding in the back of station wagons, but that sucked. Always hated the station wagon still do. In the early 80's I would be Ridding a real bike up ramps to fly through the air for just a sec like Evil Knievel it and pop a wheelies.
    I Loved the cool looking vans everyone was driving in that had a small round dark tinted window in the back. An despite fondue being messy as a kid I loved it and just thought this is delicious and such a cool idea. Bean bag chairs were great to sit in and have bean bag fights with, shag carpet, macromere, Agree shampoo, Playing ding dong ditch, cops and robbers,. Eating in the restaurant at K mart and their chocolate chip cookies. The 70s things I remember For being a young child I have many fond memories of those years. I wouldn't change that for nothing An this is just a small list of things.

    The 70s were about the best time to grow up. I also know the 60s were pretty good also and allot of changes happen there. I looked forward to turning 13 back in 1967. I could be a big shot teenager. I got my drivers license in early 1971 and everything seemed to take off through those glorious 70s. I felt like I lived a whole lifetime in those next 10 years. I hitch hiked from coast to coast and from Florida to Canada. The party dope was even better back then too. I know I did enough to drop an Elephant and maybe a Horse or two. Cars were hot and the ladies were fast. Rock & Roll was at it's tops and I played lead guitar in a popular hometown band. I built and raced Mustangs. I also learned a trade in floor covering, tile, carpet, vinyl, hardwood. I developed my own business into total kitchen and bath remodeling and made a good living. I screwed up allot here and there, but I had one hell of a good time growing up in the 70s. The opportunities through the 70s seemed endless. Not at all like today. I would give my "I" teeth and left arm to go back to the 70s.

    Kudos for mentioning 'Salem's Lot', perhaps the scariest made for TV movie ever. I was 9 years old, and my mom let me watch it. I was afraid to look out my bedroom window for weeks afterwards, thinking I'd see a vampire scratching on the glass, begging to be let in.
